The thing about secret admirers is that they could be anyone. That seems as good a theme as any for a Hitori puzzle. See if you can find the duplicates in each row and column, and mark them as your suitors.
The masquerade ball is in full swing, but you realize that shapeshifting monsters have mixed into the crowd. Fortunately, they don’t fully grasp logical instructions. Many of your guests wore the same costume, and you ask them to stand in a grid where nobody in any row or column is dressed the same. Any duplicates must be doppelgängers!
Find and shade all duplicate numbers in rows and columns, leaving only unique digits. No shaded cell may be adjacent to another, and unshaded cells must form a contiguous area.
